Laser Monocle Dramatically Enhances Vision"> Laser Monocle Dramatically Enhances Vision

The BBC has an outstanding story on a new technology that will radically change the way we look at the world around us. “US firm Microvision has developed a system that projects lasers onto the retina, allowing users to view images on top of their normal field of vision. It could allow surgeons to get a bird’s eye view of the innards of a patient, offer military units in the field a view of the entire battlefield and provide mechanics with a simulation of the inside of a car’s engine.”

“The first generation product, called the Nomad Expert Technician System, consists of a wireless computer and a hi-tech monocle, costing around $4,000.”

Who knew that the monocle would be making such a fantastic comeback?
